Title: | Possible reproduction of the red-eared slider, Trachemys scripta elegans (Reptilia: Testudines: Emydidae), in Serbia, under natural conditions | Authors: | Đorđević, Sonja Anđelković, Marko |
Keywords: | Serbia;red-eared slider;reproduction | Issue Date: | 2015 | Project: | Diversity of the amphibians and reptiles on the Balkan Peninsula: evolutionary and conservation aspects | Journal: | Hyla Herpetological Bulletin | Abstract: | The North American chelonian, Trachemys scripta elegans, is still among the most popular pets worldwide. However, if released into natural water bodies outside of its natural distribution range it becomes a great nuisance and threat to native freshwater turtles and other aquatic wildlife. We report, for the first time, on the case of possible reproduction of the red-eared sliders under natural conditions in north-central Serbia. In July 2014 we found two red-eared slider hatchlings near the canal in the settlement of Borča near the Serbian capital. Judging by their body sizes and appearance (muddy shells, curved carapace), they had recently hatched near the place where they were found. |
